Hi, i am looking for my brother who was adopted in 1970. He was born Andrew Zachariah Hurn on 16/4/1970. I believe he was adopted from a place in Darlington but was born in Skelton (Redcar and Cleveland) I think his adoptive parents were from the York area. Hoping someone can give me more information as to where i can find him. Birth mother is Yvonne Hurn and birth father is Zachariah Swales. I am the youngest of 2 sisters and have a brother as well. Any information will be gratefully appreciated.

Hi Julie,

Add the family names to your tree as when and if the person decides and ready to seek birth family members they may just take a look on this site.....you can also place your name on the adoption seeking register as a birth relative or take paid steps through an aproved agency that help to seek find and reunite,but only if thats what the adopted person wants,

No one will know Andrew because the events will have changed his surname.......
